Chapter Seventy-One: Understanding

  Then, the dazzling sunlight was blocked out. Just like people, the sky can change its face so quickly.

  Meng'er, withdraw your gaze and continue forward, but accidentally bumped into a warm embrace. Wanting to retreat, yet being tightly held by powerful hands.

  It wasn't a change in weather, but her sunshine was blocked by someone...

  "What should I do? I'm not at all reassured that you're alone outside. Fortunately, it was my arms that you threw yourself into; if it were someone else's, what would happen?"

  Meng'er listened to this voice, a wave of grievance. She held back her tears and didn't let them fall, choking with sobs, saying: "So quick to come out? I've cooked breakfast for you."

  "Ha! You're leaving without a word because you're jealous? You still have feelings for me!" Yan's calm voice couldn't hide his suppressed excitement.

  Meng'er hung her head and didn't respond, but in her heart she was repeatedly shouting: If I didn't have you in my heart, could I run out in the middle of the night? Although there's a part of Yuwen Feng's words that moved me! If I didn't have you in my heart, could I stay by your bedside all night? If I didn't have you in my heart, could I make breakfast for you?

  "You're too heartless, I was busy, but put down my work and dignity to go to school to find you, only for you to respond with a breakup; I went to great lengths to keep you by my side and cultivate you well, but you didn't understand my good intentions; For your sake, I broke off the engagement, you forgave your good sister, but not me, every time we meet it's like strangers."

  Meng'er stayed in his arms, quietly listening to his complaints, occasionally shrugging her shoulders.

  "Alright, don't cry anymore!" Yan Yi looked at her and saw that she had buried her shoulders in his chest, her small body shrinking into his embrace, a wave of tenderness rising in his heart.

  No reaction, continued to comfort: "You have to forgive me, sometimes you have to give up some things!" Hand, gently stroking the back of Meng Er.

  Hehe, Meng'er finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing in his arms. Actually, when she heard him say to put aside his pride and go find her, she was overjoyed. It just showed on her face.

  "You little scamp, you were actually smiling secretly, I thought you were crying!" Yan pulled open Meng Er and saw that her face was completely red because she had just been holding back laughter.

  "I was actually quite sad, but after hearing what you said, I became happy again." Meng continued, "However, can you explain to me why DY appeared at your house so early in the morning?"

  "It was always her who helped me with these things before, but it was Feng's arrangement, absolutely not my intention!" Yan said solemnly, fearing that Meng would be unhappy again.

  "I really don't like the way she makes me feel, ignoring me and talking to you as if you're a couple who have been together for years!" Meng Er looked into Yan Yi's eyes and finally said what was on her mind: "I feel like I'm the third wheel, a clown who thinks they're important but is actually just stuck between you two!"

  "Alright, I understand! From now on, I won't let you feel this way again!" He pulled up Meng Er's hand and walked forward, "I'll send you home!"

  Meng Er only then saw that his car was parked not far from his own, it seemed that he had just been really distracted!

  The carriage was softly playing the theme song of the movie, Meng Er asked: "How did you think of me to be the heroine of this play? Aren't you afraid that I'll perform badly and make you lose all your investment?"

  "I won't!" The three words expressed his trust simply and firmly.

  "Girl, don't you know how to close your eyes?" He released his aggressive grip on her, and with the back of his hand, he gently stroked her swollen lips that had been kissed by him, saying in a hoarse and enchanting tone.

  Meng'er looked at him with a wicked smile, grabbed the hand that was still on her lips and bit down hard until she heard Yan Yi take a sharp breath before releasing his hand.

  "Hey girl, you're a dog's luck?" Seeing her let go, he started the car and drove away!

  When they arrived at the entrance of the house, Meng Er hesitated and didn't get out of the car. Yan Yi teased her, saying "Don't want to leave me?"

  Meng'er couldn't help but be annoyed by his thick skin, yet still honestly said: "It's not..."

  "What is it?" Yan continued to ask shamelessly.

  "Hey, next time, can we kiss after I brush my teeth? This isn't hygienic!" She opened the car door and disappeared from Yan Yi's sight in a flash!

  Yan suddenly reacted: Haha! A burst of laughter floated out from the car...

  Meng'er ran back home, and Cang Hai was sitting in the living room waiting for her. Meng'er knew he had been waiting especially for her. Because at this time of day, someone like him who worked all year round without a break should have been at the company!

  "Big brother..." Meng Er honestly stood beside and greeted him!

  "Can you tell me where you went?"

  "Don't you know already? You're asking on purpose!" Meng'er lowered her head, looking at her toes. Unbeknownst to her, Cang Hai Jun's normally calm face turned cold as frost because of her words! His voice also hid a hint of subtle disappointment!

  "I know! I knew, but what I want to know is why my obedient and well-behaved sister would sneak out to a bar in the middle of the night, and why she wouldn't come home until morning from a stranger's house!"

  "Brother, he's not a strange man, he's my boyfriend! Didn't you agree?"

  "You... have also learned to talk back..." Finally, Canghai Jun suppressed the emotions that were about to explode and asked, "Meng'er, do you really think you two are suitable?"

  "Brother, then tell me, where did we go wrong? Brother, don't you think your protection of me is more like imprisonment? Honestly, I really dislike this!" Meng'er thought to herself that her ancient way of thinking had surpassed her modern brother's. She liked him and wanted to be with him, so why were there so many misunderstandings between them.

  Canghai Jun looked at Meng'er like this, as if he didn't recognize her. The Meng'er of the past was willful, but she listened most to his words as her big brother. Why did it feel like the distance between them as siblings was getting farther and farther apart? A sense of powerlessness surged up in his heart!

  "Go rest!" Finally, he waved his hand and let her go back to her room.

  Meng'er didn't want to see him like this for her sake, but she didn't know what to say to comfort him. In the end, she quietly returned to her room.

  After washing up, Meng sat in the study, opening her computer and recording her thoughts: I'm gradually integrating into this society, so that others can't detect anything unusual about me! However, I met him, someone who resembles Wang. I made my brother unhappy, causing a rift between my sisters, but I couldn't help being drawn to him. He is my nemesis; I never learned to gain wisdom from past mistakes...

  Turn off the computer, go back to the room, fall on the bed, and stare at the ceiling with wide eyes in silence...
